[QUOTE=PodPatrol]Your get'n er Done Don !!! Great infoe !!!
"Is the print of the sidewalls something that could be shared ?
I ask this due to the fact that most owners won't be cutting into the walls,
but sometimes put'n a screw here, or there, might be aided by knowing where the supports are, or where they are not."
I'm curious, if they are shared, would the 177's be different from the 172's?
Thanks,
Mamajomba

I'm assuming, but perhaps all 17* models may be similiar to a certain point.
The Slide models of course would be different concerning the Street-Side of the slide models. But perhaps from that point on, they might be identical. Just a thought ...... Wouldn't it be nice to know the paths of the electrical wire runs too !!! |

I've tried to upload the files of the wall structure from FR, but cannot. There were actually two files, one a .bmp and a .mht. I would offer to email them to anyone interested, but I had trouble downloading them to my own email server, so I'm not sure that would work. I'll work on saving them as a different file form and see if I can get that to work.

It would be great if Forest River could post a diagram or picture of the frame work of all the RPod models. They could add that the warranty on the walls is voided once someone cuts into it. Would be a great help for those in doing modifications. David

Okay, I figured out how to do it! Here are the sidewalls of the 172. I blieve this can be called interior view of the far side wall.

I'm a bit confused here.....are there ANY vertical or horizontal supports? What I'm seeing are lines for the items inside of the pod. I would like to know where the metal supports are located. Am I missing something here?

About 1 foot back from the front edge on both sides there is what appears to be a vertical piece, perhaps a 2X2. I wasn't worried about the rest of the trailer.

One of two new windows in my 172 (one on each side).
And here is a cross section of the wall panel. It measures 1.3 inches thick, with a 1/8th inch thick plywood layer on each side, then a thin layer of plastic on the inside and a 1/16th inch layer of fiberglass on the outside. There were no structural members in the cut.
This is not a job for just anyone to experiment with, but I have no fears of the resulting structural integrity. After all, in all other models there is a full size window in the same location. Because of the bunks in the 172 there is not room for that large window.
